Some handy info on the Giant Contact Switch Dropper Post

Anyone know the measurements for the Giant 100mm travel option.

 

The distance between top of seat post clamp to saddle rail minimum measurements. For instance the Lynne website says 163mm for their 100mm option. If the Giant is less I will go for that.

 

Reason for question is I'm trying to equip my wife's Zula with a dropper post and it has a rather long seat tube, and she is not tall.

Measuring off a scaled image of the 100mm post, it seems to be between 155-160mm. Lynne would be my first choice though. Perhaps measure her current set up to check if you could squeeze the Lynne in.

Thx, the Lynne wont fit without some frame modification (read cutting) and based on your measurements The Giant would require the same.

Completely different price range, but KS do a 100mm Lev with a very short post. It is the only one that was able to fit into my girlfriends bike.

 

Edit: I realize now the exposed bit is the problem not the inserted bit, never mind.

77mm +- on mine from bottom of collar to middle of saddle rial

 

This is the gen 2 dropper

He's asking for the length in the extended/up position. Therefore a 100mm 2nd gen Giant would be 177mm.
